Local cannabis shops

Dear Editor:

Fergus has once again fallen behind in the development of business, such as marijuana sales. This simple fact is marijuana sales is a government-approved business, with strict guidelines and safety measures in place, to assure the distribution of marijuana is safe for consumers.

In comparison, off-the-street products may contain numerous harmful chemicals, such as pesticides and fentanyl, just to name a few.

I would also like to state that I am very concerned that in our growing community of Fergus that we are still putting our residents who choose to buy marijuana on the street corners, at risk, when a simple vote by council can change that.
